Coincya Johnstonii
''Coincya'' is a genus of flowering plant that belongs to the family Brassicaceae. Three species of the plant are endemic to the British Isles, these being ''Coincya wrightii'' (Lundy cabbage), ''Coincya cheiranthos'' (nokkasinapit) and ''Coincya monensis'', which has two subspecies, ''C. monensis'' subsp. ''monensis'' (Isle of Man cabbage) and ''C. monensis'' subsp. ''recurvata'' (star mustard). Another four species are endangered and endemic to the south-central Iberian peninsula. The name derives from the French botanist Auguste-Henri de Coincy. The star mustard, a plant introduced to eight U.S. states is the same species as the Isle of Man cabbage but a different subspecies. It may have been introduced to the U.S. as the Isle of Man cabbage and subsequently evolved through the founder effect and geographic isolation into a new subspecies.

Iberian Peninsula

Founder Effect
In population genetics, the founder effect is the loss of genetic variation that occurs when a new population is established by a very small number of individuals from a larger population. It was first fully outlined by Ernst Mayr in 1942, using existing theoretical work by those such as Sewall Wright. As a result of the loss of genetic variation, the new population may be distinctively different, both genotypically and phenotypically, from the parent population from which it is derived. In extreme cases, the founder effect is thought to lead to the speciation and subsequent evolution of new species. In the figure shown, the original population has nearly equal numbers of blue and red individuals. The three smaller founder populations show that one or the other color may predominate (founder effect), due to random sampling of the original population. A population bottleneck may also cause a founder effect, though it is not strictly a new population. The founder effect occurs wh ...

Subspecies
In biological classification, subspecies is a rank below species, used for populations that live in different areas and vary in size, shape, or other physical characteristics (morphology), but that can successfully interbreed. Not all species have subspecies, but for those that do there must be at least two. Subspecies is abbreviated subsp. or ssp. and the singular and plural forms are the same ("the subspecies is" or "the subspecies are"). In zoology, under the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, the subspecies is the only taxonomic rank below that of species that can receive a name. In botany and mycology, under the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants, other infraspecific ranks, such as variety, may be named. In bacteriology and virology, under standard bacterial nomenclature and virus nomenclature, there are recommendations but not strict requirements for recognizing other important infraspecific ranks. A taxonomist decides whether ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Auguste-Henri De Coincy
Auguste-Henri Cornut de la Fontaine de Coincy (1837, Lille – 30 January 1903) was a French botanist. A native of Lille, he received his education at the lycée in Sens. Known for his investigations of flora native to Spain, he was the author of "Ecloga plantarum hispanicarum", a five-part series on Spanish flora published from 1893 to 1901. He was also the author of several papers involving the botanical genus ''Echium''. As a taxonomist, he described the genus ''Rouya'' (family Apiaceae). The genus ''Coincya'' (family Brassicaceae) commemorates his name. Coincya The "" is an award issued by the '' Société botanique de France

Georges Rouy
Georges Rouy (2 December 1851, Paris – 25 December 1924, Asnières-sur-Seine) was a French botanist who was among the first to identify infraspecific (i.e., below the level of species) taxa, including: subspecies, varieties, and forms. Published works With Julien Foucaud and others, he was author of the ''Flore de France; ou, Description des plantes qui croissent spontanément en France, en Corse et en Alsace-Lorraine'' (Flora of France; descriptions of plants that are native to France, Corsica and Alsace-Lorraine, published in 14 volumes from 1893 to 1913.

Coincya Wrightii
''Coincya wrightii'', known as Lundy cabbage, is a species of primitive brassicoid, endemic to the island of Lundy off the southwestern coast of England, where it is sufficiently isolated to have formed its own species, with its endemic insect pollinators. ''Coincya wrightii'' grows natively only on the eastern cliffs and slopes of the island and nowhere else in the world and is a protected species. It reaches up to a metre in height and with its yellow flowers (seen from May to August) it looks a little similar to oil seed rape. Although it is a member of the cabbage family, it tastes unpleasant – it has been described as "triple-distilled essence of Brussels sprout". The Lundy cabbage is unique in that two species of beetles that feed on it – the Lundy cabbage flea beetle ('' Psylliodes luridipennis'') and the Lundy cabbage weevil ('' Ceutorhynchus contractus pallipes'') – also occur nowhere else in the world. The number of Lundy cabbages varies from year to year. Gra ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
